We had a gorgeous moon one night and after I took this shot I knew I had to start saving up for _a_ tripod :\

    Thank you Saltari, Albert and Alain.
    Albert, I'm not sure if I did nail it, if any it became more obvious that I need to save up on a tripod. ;)

    Gorgeous!! How could you have taken this with no tripod??!! Amazing! Hmm, a park down by the water. Is it at or near Jack London Square?

  • Portia Söderberg

    On 29 March 2008 Portia Söderberg said:

    I would assume it's near Jack London Square Laurie, since that's where Everett and Jones is. It could also be somewhere in Alameda, there's some really nice parks there near the water where I see a ton of kiteboarders lately.
    Thanks for the props! :)
